So, you’ve joined HBAL—now what? Whether you’re a brand-new member or just need a refresher, HBAL 101 is your go-to crash course in how to make your membership work for you.

Why Attend HBAL 101?
Meet the Humans Behind the Acronym
You’ll get the chance to meet HBAL’s leadership, staff and fellow members in a relaxed setting. Knowing who’s who helps you
navigate the organization and opens doors for future partnerships, mentorship or collaboration.
Discover All the Perks You Might Be Missing
From advocacy to community outreach and exclusive marketing opportunities, HBAL offers a ton of value—if you know where to look. HBAL 101 breaks it all down.
You’ll learn how to:
- Get involved with committees.
- Stay informed about industry trends, code updates and legislation.
- Promote your business through events like the Nebraska Builders Home & Garden Show or Parade of Homes.
Plug Into a Powerful Network
Let’s be honest—networking is more than just shaking hands and swapping business cards. It’s about building relationships that help your business grow. HBAL 101 introduces you to the various networking opportunities that happen all year long—from monthly meetings and educational lunches to chili cook-offs and family nights.
Find the Right Fit for You
No two members are alike. Some love planning events; others want to give back through community outreach. HBAL 101 helps you explore the many ways to get involved—whether that’s mentoring students, volunteering at Santa Cop or joining the Remodelers Council.
Keep Your Investment Working
Let’s face it—membership dues are an investment. HBAL 101 ensures you get a return by showing you how to maximize what’s already available to you. It’s not just about attending events—it’s about engaging in ways that are meaningful for you and your business.
Bottom Line: Don’t Just Join—Jump In!
Attending HBAL 101 is like getting the user manual to your membership—but way more fun and with better snacks. Whether you’re looking to grow your network, stay up-to-date on legislation, promote your services or simply give back, this session gives you the tools (and the people) to make it happen.
